My Heart Bleeds For Lindsay

OMG somebody get me a hanky.

So Aparently Lindsay Lohan has been placed in isolation following a "hysterical fit".

It seems just a few days in to the two week stint of her 90 day sentance she's broken down in tears, screaming at wardens, forcing them to take her away from other inmates.

One former inmate Cheryl Presser, 43, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She is in with the killers and she has only been let out for hour-long breaks, and during those she was locked down to a table.

"On Friday (23.07.10), Lindsay got put on lock-down. While some of us got two hours to go to the yard, or the TV room, Lindsay was on total lockdown.

"She had a hysterical fit, crying and yelling so she got put in isolation."

Another former inmate claimed Lindsay was upset because other prisoners had been poking fun at her by calling her 'Firecrotch'.

The source said: "She was just sitting in her cell staring straight ahead. Sometimes wailing, but mostly just sitting  "Some of the inmates in our ward, some of the tougher ones, were yelling 'fire crotch' at her.  "They just started chanting it at her. Lindsay didn't say nothing. She was crying though."

Cheryl also revealed that she has failed to win over other inmates because her constant crying keeps them awake at night.  She said: "The wards are cold and smelly - they stink. The air conditioning is turned up so high that you can't sleep because of the cold. Inmates try and shove the air vents full of toilet paper to stop the air coming out, but it doesn't work.  "Lindsay would lie there shivering all night, crying and trying to cover her face with her hands. Her wailing was keeping everyone awake." 

UHHH HELLO?  IT'S JAIL.  IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PLEASANT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE AWEFUL SO YOU DON'T RECOMMIT THE OFFENCES YOU WERE PUT IN THERE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE.  WAHHHHHHH

Munsch Ado About Nothing

Ok...This has been in the news a bit lately so I feel (as Always) that I have to comment.   I know...you're shocked, right?  It seems beloved child author of such classics as "Mortimer"  and "I Love You Forever" has announced to the world that he had an addiction to alcohol and cocaine.  Also, he has bipolar disorder and has suffered with this from the time he was a child.

My Opinion...get ready for this...it'll knock your socks off.  WHO GIVES A CRAP!.  I mean seriously.  Yes he may be a child's author and storyteller, but he's also a human being.  This day and age many many many people suffer with addictions.  Whether its alcohol, tobacco, pot, cocaine, internet porn or video games, literally hundreds of thousands of people suffer with various addictions.  Some may say that this may deminish his credibility, to me it doesn't do a thing.

Bottom Line, he is a brilliant author and wonderfully engaging storyteller.  So he has some personal issues..that's what they are ...PERSONAL.  In no way should this effect his professional life or how people view his public self. With any celebrity they have a "public" persona which is what we all see and their "Private" Persona which they reserve for people who they associate with, friends, family etc.  To me the fact that he's come out and told the world about this makes him even more special to me.  He could have easily kept it to himself and secrectly received treatment, but he chose to share his plight with the world and say "Yes, I'm an addict, and yes, I am getting help for that addiction".  This is what a real stand up person does...not sneak off to some secret celebrity rehab facility...this guy has got the right idea.

GO PUBLIC, GET BETTER, MOVE ON

As an aside...alcohol addiction has literally plagued dozens of famous authors....as Brad Paisley wrote in his song "Alcohol".... "I've influenced Kings and world leaders, I helped Hemingway write like he did, and I'll bet you a drink or two that I can make you, Put that lampshade on your head"
